2/4 is greater that 2/6 because ur splitting 2 only by 4, and splitting by 6 would obviously be less

2/4 > 2/6 .All you have to do to find the answer is cross multiply the fractions:

2/4 = 2/6 (cross multiply)2*4=8 and then cross multiply the other side 2*6=12,because 12 is greater than8 ,your answer will be 2/4>2/6 .

At a sale on winter clothing, Cody bought four pairs of gloves and four hats for $36.00. Tori bought three pairs of gloves and f

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

gloves cost $5

hats cost $4

Step-by-step explanation:

four pairs of gloves and four hats for $36.00

4g + 4h = 36

three pairs of gloves and four hats for $31.00

3g + 4h = 31

-------------------------

Subtract the second equation from the first

4g + 4h = 36

-( 3g + 4h = 31 )

––––––––––––

g = 5

gloves cost $5

substitute for g = 5 into either equation

4(5) + 4h = 36

20 + 4h = 36

Subtract 20 from both sides

4h = 16

Divide both sides by 4

h = 4

hats cost $4

A restaurant owner was experimenting with the taste of her homestyle lemon drink. She started with 60 litres of water. She remov

Burka [1]

Answer:

ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the homestyle lemon drink is 5 : 19.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve the final ratio of lemon juice to water, let us start by determining the initial ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the first mix. This is done as follows:

Total volume of mixture = 60 liters

initial volume of water = 60 liters

initial volume of lemon juice = 0 liters

1) She removed 15 liters of the water and replaced it with 15 liters of pure lemon juice.

Volume of water = 60 - 15 = 45 liters

Volume of lemon juice = 15 liters

$\therefore \frac{15}{60}\ = \frac{1}{4}\ of\ the\ first\ mix\ is\ lemon\ juice\\\frac{45}{60}\ = \frac{3}{4}\ of\ the\ first\ mix\ is\ pure\ water$

2) She removed 10 liters of the new mixture

Let us convert this amount removed into ratio:

$lemon\ juice\ = \frac{1}{4}\ \times 10 = \frac{10}{4} = \frac{5}{2}\ liters.\\ \therefore the\ owner\ removes\ \frac{5}{2}\ liters\ of\ pure\ lemon\ juice\\pure\ water\ = \frac{3}{4}\ \times 10 = \frac{30}{4} = \frac{15}{2}\ liters\\ \therefore\ the\ owner\ removes\ \frac{15}{2}\ liters\ of\ water\ from\ the\ first\ mix.$

New volumes of water and lemon juice after removing the 10 liters of mixture is calculated as follows:

$lemon\ juice\ = 15 - \frac{5}{2} = \frac{30-5}{2} = \frac{25}{2}\ liters\ of\ lemon\ juice\\pure\ water\ = 45 - \frac{15}{2} = \frac{90-15}{2} = \frac{75}{2}\ liters\ of\ pure\ water$

3) and replaced it with 10 liters of water.

$New\ volume\ of\ water\ = 10 + \frac{75}{2} = \frac{20+ 75}{2} = \frac{95}{2}\ liters$

The final ratio of lemon juice to water:

$\frac{25}{2} : \frac{95}{2}\\= 25 : 95\\= 5 : 19$

Therefore, the final ratio of pure lemon juice to water in the homestyle lemon drink is 5 : 19.
